I tried this test case and it fails with the error EOF

:-

package main

import (
  "testing"
  "encoding/xml"
)

type Email struct {
  Where string `xml:",attr"`
  Addr  string
}

type Result struct {
  Email []Email
}

func Test_Update_2(t *testing.T) {
  result := new(Result)
  body := "<result> <email where='home'> <addr>gre@example.com</addr> </email>"
  err := xml.Unmarshal([]byte(body), &result)
  if err != nil {
    t.Error("xml.UnMarshal:", err)
  }
  t.Log("result:", result)
}

Comment 1 by abdul.h.chaudhry:

the EOF is caused by the lack of result but the unmarshal still seems broken. The logs
indicates unmarshal didnt do anything
func Test_Update_2(t *testing.T) {
  result := new(Result)
  body := "<result> <email where='home'> <addr>gre@example.com</addr> </email></result>"
  err := xml.Unmarshal([]byte(body), &result)
  if err != nil {
    t.Error("xml.UnMarshal:", err)
  }
  t.Error("result:", result)
}
--- FAIL: main.Test_Update_2 (0.00 seconds)
    y.go:981: result: &{[]}
FAIL

Comment 2:

The xml input/output in the example needs to use capitalized
<> tags, like <Where>.
